Project Summary

Project URESA has been focused on the topics related to producing green energy from renewable resources available in rural areas and possible to acquire from agricultural production.
In Europe, there are a number of different levels of renewable energy sources in rural areas. Western European countries in this respect are much better developed than the countries of Eastern Europe. The subject of agricultural RES plants is developing very fast in Eastern Europe. According to the need analyses conducted before project and noticing this fact during project implementation there is a very strong interest in small plants of agricultural farmers. That’s why we have elaborated high quality of the training materials to disseminate knowledge on agricultural RES plants. The project has been dedicated for farmers and residents of rural areas.
The project products consist of the curriculum and interactive e-learning course which is available online and consist of the 7 modules on the topics of RES, with the introductory module at the beginning. The structure of the curriculum and the training content gives competences of the professionals from agriculture (farmers) VET teachers of agricultural school on the high level. Training course consists of following modules:
Module 0 – Introduction – basic information about the RES
Module 1 – “Wind energy”
Module 2 – “Water energy”
Module 3 – “Solar energy ”
Module 4 – “Geothermal energy ”
Module 5 – “Biomass energy”
Module 6 – “Biogas energy”
